I really enjoy the quality of this kit! Although this kit has the largest number of parts I have ever built...

Picking up tips like using the dust from pencil graphite to highlight high spots is the main reason I Iove your videos. Thank you.

@@OlhaBatchvarov Is it Boxwood (Castello) that you use, do you prefer it to Pear wood, for the same price?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

@@denisv4385 Yes, this is Castello Boxwood. I love both of these types of wood. Although boxwood is harder, it gives good carving, and the pear is easy to chip and you have to very "gently" cut figures out of it. The rest of the work with these types of wood is about the same...

This is again an amazing video Olha !!! I am absolutely impressed and blown away again by your stunning work. Love the trick with the pencil, great tip and very useful. You did not make it easy on you, but the end result is just mind-blowing and so worth it !!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you found a new useful trick! On this model, I will make my life as difficult as possible))) Such a majestic model, and all the parts in the kit are made of such cheap basswood that it becomes sad - that's why I will change everything. And I also plan to reconstruct the masting and rigging...

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thanks so much 😊

[@joerotchell4882]

Thank you. As a beginner I’ve learnt so much. My top tip for sanding is to use lolly sticks with the sandpaper stuck to them. Cut them to size and shape for difficult areas; cut the sand paper a little wider than the stick and you get a 90 degree sanding edge. Also the stick will bend allowing fine adjustment of pressure. Thanks again. Subscribed.

Great tip! Thank you very much! Welcome aboard!

Привет Ольга! Работа класс 👍, а подгонка как у плотника, в притирку! Оля а клей ПВА ты мешаешь с толчёным углём?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Cпасибо! Ето просто черная акриловая краска - в етот раз старнная попалась...

[@user-pk7es6fb5h]

Вот потому я и подумал что уголь 😊 Просто лично я всегда делаю с углем, то же классно выходит и сами детали не мажутся да и шов более отчётливый (наверное от зернистости угля)

[@CAPNMAC82]

I'm jealous of that gorgeous basswood. I like using brass wire for temporary construction pins. I can size it the intended treenails in final assembly, and the glue is more likely to let go to need .And, I love how the bearding line is "built in" rather than some sort of sloppy assembly with a plank (as too many kits want) I will use my 0.5m mechanical pencil with 2B lead, and sand it to a chisel edge for very fin marking (I used to use 6H or 8H 1.5m lead in a mechanical pencil and fine point it with my kohinor rotary sharpener [O the things we learned in "board drafting" days . . . ], haven been able to source those extra-hard pencil leads in a great while now, sadly).

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! On the contrary, I prefer soft pencil leadі - they do not damage the wood and they are better suited for prints...

@@OlhaBatchvarov it was a definite improvement. Awesome skills, and craftsmanship. 👍

[@jeffjay2225]

Thanks for the demonstration of cutting out the parts. Its very helpful to see that. I think practicing on the scroll saw helps a lot. Also, is that the drill stand you are using to clean up the edges?

@@OlhaBatchvarov Thanks. You should do a scratch build like a swan class.

[@modelman65]

Hello Olha, Why the need for a replacement????? Was the Kit pieces out of scale?? Laser burn??? Too Thick on the kit pieces????

[@SQSNSQ]

Same question here. My guess: better woodgrain on the new parts and no burn marks. But, explanation would be nice!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Everything is fine with them. It's just that it's made of soft and cheap basswood. It is not appropriate to make such a noble model out of such garbage...

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

So I'm just changing the cheap and soft basswood for noble woods! In previous releases, I already threw out all the planks and beams in the garbage and cut new ones. And now I'm changing all the laser-cut parts!

[@ArthurMG00]

Awesome as per usual, Olha. Will you glue the stem to the hull after the planking is finished? And about the wood, is it Castello Boxwood or is it Boxwood boxwood?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! Yes, I will glue all the backbone parts after the planking. It is almost impossible to find European boxwood, so yes - it is castello boxwood...

Зачем, если есть готовая деталь? Модель далее шлифуется и покрывается лаком или краской, и ничего не видно.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Лак и краска - ето если вам достаточно просто собрать в кучу детальки в форме кораблика и смотреть на него с растояния 5 метров не ближе. Комплект сделан из дешевого и мягкого басвуда (аналог гашей липЬІ). Поетому все буду менять! Я уже викинула все рейки и планки и нарезала самшитових и холли... И покривать только маслами или шиллаком (как на музейних моделях 17-18 столетий) для проявления текстури благородних пород дерева (груша, самшит, холли, ебони или чернЬІй граб)...

[@user-bb4df2qo1o]

@@OlhaBatchvarov в данном случае я не вижу смысла переделывать форштевень, (я не думаю что ваша модель будет бороздить моря или океаны, таранить она тоже вряд ли будет, так что не имеет значение из мягкого дерева она или нет, а по форме она идентична) насчёт покраски соглашусь соглашусь, но смысл был в другом-

[@cajunrandy2143]
